Instant Crush
Julian Casablancas/Daft Punk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I thought of everything I'd never regret
A little time with you is all that I get
That's all we need because it's all we can take
One thing I never see the same when you're 'round
I don't believe in him, his lips on the ground
I wanna take you to that place in the Roche
But no one gives us any time anymore
You made an offer for it, then you ran off
I got this picture of us kids in my head
And all I hear is the last thing that you said
Listened to your problems, now listen to mine
I didn't want to anymore, oh
And we will never be alone again
'Cause it doesn't happen every day
Kinda counted on you being a friend
Can I give it up or give it away?
Now I thought about what I wanna say
But I never really know where to go
So I chained myself to a friend
'Cause I know it unlocks like a door
And we will never be alone again
'Cause it doesn't happen every day
Kinda counted on you being a friend
Can I give it up or give it away?
Now I thought about what I wanna say
But I never really know where to go
So I chained myself to a friend
Some more again
It didn't matter what they wanted to see
He thought he saw someone that looked just like me
The summer memory that just never dies
We worked too long and hard to give it no time
He sees right through me, it's so easy with lies
Cracks in the road that I would try and disguise
He runs the scissors at the seam in the wall
He cannot break it down or else he would fall
One thousand lonely stars
Hiding in the cold
Take it
I don't wanna sing anymore
Listened to your problems, now listen to mine
I didn't want to anymore, oh
And we will never be alone again
'Cause it doesn't happen every day
Kinda counted on you being a friend
Can I give it up or give it away?
Now I thought about what I wanna say
But I never really know where to go
So I chained myself to a friend
'Cause I know it unlocks like a door
And we will never be alone again
'Cause it doesn't happen every day
Kinda counted on you being a friend
Can I give it up or give it away?
Now I thought about what I wanna say
But I never really know where to go
So I chained myself to a friend
'Cause I know it unlocks like a
I don't understand
Don't get upset
I'm not with you
We're swimming around
It's all I do
When I'm with you
And we will never be alone again
'Cause it doesn't happen every day
Kinda counted on you being a friend
Can I give it up or give it away?
Now I thought about what I wanna say
But I never really know where to go
So I chained myself to a friend
'Cause I know it unlocks like a door

The lyrics to Daft Punk's "Instant Crush" portray themes of longing, regret, and the desire for a deeper connection in relationships. The song is written from the perspective of someone who realizes that they are deeply attracted to another person, but that this attraction is not reciprocated. They reflect on their memories together, wanting to go back to a special place "in the Roche," but feeling that no one has any time for them anymore.
The lyrics suggest that the singer feels misunderstood or unrecognized by the person they are singing to ("He thought he saw someone that looked just like me") and that there is an element of secrecy or hiding ("We worked too long and hard to give it no time / He sees right through me, it's so easy with lies") in their interactions. However, they also express a desire for closeness ("And we will never be alone again / 'Cause it doesn't happen every day / Kinda counted on you being a friend"), even if they are not sure how to express it.
Overall, "Instant Crush" is a poignant reflection on the complexities of relationships and the longing for deeper connections.
Line by Line Meaning
I didn't want to be the one to forget
I didn't want to forget our memories and moments together
I thought of everything I'd never regret
I reminisced about our past and realized I have no regrets
A little time with you is all that I get
I only get a short amount of time with you
That's all we need because it's all we can take
We don't need any more time together because it would be too much for us to handle
One thing I never see the same when you're 'round
Everything looks different when you're with me
I don't believe in him, his lips on the ground
I don't believe in anyone else, only you
I wanna take you to that place in the Roche
I want to take you to a special place
But no one gives us any time anymore
We don't get enough time together anymore
He asks me once if I'd look in on his dog
He once asked me to look after his dog
You made an offer for it, then you ran off
You offered to take care of his dog but then left without doing it
I got this picture of us kids in my head
I have a childhood memory of us in my mind
And all I hear is the last thing that you said
All I remember is the last thing you told me
It didn't matter what they wanted to see
I didn't care about what others wanted to see
He thought he saw someone that looked just like me
Someone thought they saw a person who looked like me
The summer memory that just never dies
A memory from summer that is unforgettable
We worked too long and hard to give it no time
We put in too much effort to not spend any time together
He sees right through me, it's so easy with lies
He easily sees beyond my lies
Cracks in the road that I would try and disguise
I tried to hide the imperfections in our relationship
He runs the scissors at the seam in the wall
He tries to cut through the obstacles in our relationship
He cannot break it down or else he would fall
He can't fix everything in our relationship, or he would fail himself somehow
One thousand lonely stars
There are many lonely stars in the sky
Hiding in the cold
The stars are hidden in the darkness of the night
I don't wanna sing anymore
I don't want to talk about this anymore
I don't understand
I don't get it
Don't get upset
Please don't feel bad
I'm not with you
I'm not physically present with you
We're swimming around
We're lost and uncertain about our relationship
It's all I do
All I ever think about is our relationship
And we will never be alone again
We won't be apart from each other anymore
'Cause it doesn't happen every day
This doesn't happen every day, it's rare
Kinda counted on you being a friend
I relied on you as a friend
Can I give it up or give it away?
Should I let go of our relationship?
Now I thought about what I wanna say
I thought about what I want to tell you
But I never really know where to go
I don't know how to approach this situation
So I chained myself to a friend
I'm relying on a friend to help me through this
'Cause I know it unlocks like a door
I know that my friend can help me unlock the solution to our problems

I didn't want to be the one to forget
I thought of everything I'd never regret
A little time with you is all that I get
That's all we need because it's all we can take
One thing I never see the same when you're 'round
I don’t believe in him, his lips on the ground
I wanna take you to that place in the Roche

Daft Punk, they are millionaire, they can wander all over the world without being recognized.
They finished the game with hard mode.
Congratulations.
Deserved retirement.

@@orbit5311 I think that's the real reason they became so successful, amd grew so big. So many artists today are all in it for the money. Daft Punk had a real understanding of music. Even though they were robots, their music was truly human
